7i73 LCD shows rubisch

Arggh!! Dewey suggested this and made a fix, and my testing seemed to show that it wasn't the problem...


Try commenting out TWOPASS = true

I finally managed to make a config misbehave, and turning off twopass fixes it.

The problem seems to be that TWOPASS strips \n characters from argument strings.

Try Dewey's new branch, I think it might fix the problem (fixes it here).
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/185f...6757e77d9bc983b8fef7

Dewey's TWOPASS fix is now in Master. Can you test again?

For sure, I'm still in train on my way back home, but in ca two hours i should have done the test.

HUREEEY

It's nice as it was before !
Working fine, with only one letter or with filled screen.
Also, Andy, correct till the last letter in the fourth line,
Perfect.

Congrats
THX to ALL.

Great! That's a real relief.

It also means I can put the 7i73 back in my milling machine and get that working again

(It is broken in other ways, not just because I borrowed the 7i73)

Let's not forget, also one of the changes you made changed the screen.
I have the feeling that there was more than one bug involved.

Anyhow, super engaged work.
I would love to see such engagement on some of our suppliers daily working ;-(

Thx Mike
